The One That Got Away

Summer after high school, when we first metWe'd make out in your Mustang to RadioheadAnd on my eighteen birthday we got matching tattoosUsed to steal your parents' liquor and climb to the roofTalk about our future like we had a clueNever planned that one day I'd be losing you

In another life, I would be your girlWe'd keep all our promises, be us against the worldIn another life, I would make you staySo I don't have to say you were the one that got awayThe one that got away

I was June and you were my Johnny CashNever one without the other, we made a pactSometimes when I miss you, I put those records on, whoaSomeone said you had your tattoo removedSaw you downtown, singing the bluesIt's time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse

But in another life, I would be your girlWe'd keep all our promises, be us against the worldIn another life, I would make you staySo I don't have to say you were the one that got awayThe one that got away

The oneThe oneThe oneThe one that got away

All this money can't buy me a time machine, noCan't replace you with a million rings, noI should have told you what you meant to me, whoa'Cause now I pay the price

In another life, I would be your girlWe'd keep all our promises, be us against the worldIn another life, I would make you staySo I don't have to say you were the one that got awayThe one that got away

The one (the one)The one (the one)The one (the one)

In another life, I would make you staySo I don't have to say you were the one that got awayThe one that got away
